Using Thunderbird I upgraded not too long ago (in 2 steps) from Eudora to now version 91.11.0. I no longer see my address books (but see files abook.mab and history.mab (but not the .BAK versions as suggested on the internet)). Both files seem to contain data (when viewed in Notepad). How to get Thunderbird to recognize/use my address books?
